Alliaria petiolata: flowers and seed pods

Warning: this is an extremely invasive plant in Toronto.

Yes, I know, this is my third post about garlic mustard in May, but this is the first time I've shown the fully opened flowers and nefarious seed pods of this plant. Here you can see how garlic mustard practically forms a monoculture. (Photo taken in High Park, south of the Black Oak Café).
